Recent Advances in Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Antitumor Therapy

Efficient enrichment of glycopeptides with sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica.

This work presents an efficient and selective enrichment method for glycoprotein/glycopeptides with sulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-SO3H), which is synthesized via simple oxidation of -SH groups with H2O2. The functionalized SBA-15 shows large surface area and accessible pores, and can selectively adsorb glycopeptides via hydrogen bond and hydrophilic interaction. Upon th...

Thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery

The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

Application of Nanoanalysis: Amine-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica nanoparticles for Mercury Speciation in Human Samples

Mercury (Hg) causes hazardous cumulative effects in humans; like central nervous system disorders,hypertension and chromosomal aberrations. Therefore, due to high toxicity and bioaccumulationfactor, mercury determination and speciation in human blood is very important. A sensitive,accurate, precise and inexpensive method was demonstrated for preconcentration and speciationof ultra-trace mercury...
